Who we are

Gastronauten Institute

Gastronauten Institute (GI) is set to become a leading technical institute for refrigeration and air-conditioning technology in Ghana. GI combines theory and practice under one roof: hands-on training takes the front burner and is at the core of what we do.

While our training format is developed around specific business requirements, we also focus on providing solutions to evolving industry needs. Our training equips students with the latest and most sought-after industry skills. With a state-of-the-art workshop and classrooms, GI continues to bridge the gap left by the shortage of qualified technicians.

Our graduates are in high demand because they are trained ready for employment. Organisations are welcome to submit their employment requests to the institute in good time.
